Singha Beer Concert: Carabao / Asanee Wasan / Pu Pongsit

These artistes had come by to Chiangmai for a Singha Corporation organised concert. A friend managed to get some free tickets to the concert and was kind enough take me and the missus along. Beer and a rock concert, I'm in!

After the crowd had warmed up, 
it was time to move to the main concert ground behind.

Giant TV screens on each side of the stage 
made sure no one missed any of the action.

Carabao was the first to take to the stage for the night.
Being veteran musicians, their performance was tight and polished.

Asanee Wasan came on next. They rocked the place 
and had fun while doing so.

Pu Pongsit was the last to come on.

Unfortunately, i did not manage to get any videos of Pu Pongsit as my back and feet were killing me from standing throughout the concert for more than two hours. But in all, it was a great evening out.
